We get many questions about the reason it can take up to a few months for dental implants to heal. Though there are full mouth procedures where you can leave with a brand new smile in one day (Teeth Next Day), many times the implantation of one or a few dental implants must "osseointegrate" with your jaw. Osseointegration is the fusing of the implant with your jaw bone.

Sometimes our patients have lost many teeth and waited quite some time to place dental implants. Without your natural teeth, or implants in place, your jaw bone can begin to deteriorate. This leads to the face having a "sunken" appearance. For these patients it is necessary for Dr. Ajmo to perform a bone graft in order to create enough bone in the jaw for the implants to fuse with. Learn more about bone grafts in today's blog article.

Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums, bones and other structures that support your teeth. If left untreated, periodontal disease can cause you to lose your teeth. Recent medical research is now proving that this bacteria in your mouth travels through your bloodstream to other organs of your body. This bacteria has also been found to increase the risk and severity of other health related issues such as diabetes, heart disease, respiratory disease, pre-term and low birth weight babies and osteoporosis. Common symptoms of periodontal disease are red, puffy or bleeding gums, foul odor or taste in your mouth, loose teeth and receded gums. When your gums are healthy, they do not bleed, even in the hygiene chair at PGA Dentistry in Jupiter, FL.

Dental x-rays, also called dental radiographs, are essentially pictures of teeth, bones and soft tissues which are used to help diagnose and treat any dental issue that may arise. Dental x-rays can find cavities, hidden dental structures such as malignant or benign masses, wisdom teeth and bone loss that cannot be found during a dental examination at PGA Dentistry in Palm Beach, FL. A radiographic image is a technique that uses electromagnetic radiation to view the internal structure of the teeth and jaw. A burst of radiation penetrates the structure and depending on its density will show light and dark areas. Cavities, infections and changes in bone density will appear darker because these structures are less dense. There are many concerns about radiation exposure, but according to the American Dental Association, the amount of radiation is typically minimal.

Porcelain veneers are used to correct worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment or spacing, discoloration and chips or cracks to improve the appearance of your smile. Porcelain veneers are generally considered cosmetic because they create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned teeth, but ultimately they protect the surface of damaged teeth and can possibly eliminate the need for additional, more extensive treatments. Other benefits include durability, improved smile appearance, and minimally invasive removal of the tooth structure compared to crowns. Porcelain veneers are designed to fix many types of problems such as discolored teeth, due to root canal treatment, stains from tetracycline or other drugs, worn down, broken teeth, misaligned, uneven or irregularly shaped teeth and gaps or spaces

Tooth loss is a fact of life for many people. For some, it comes earlier in life than for others.

The mineral fluoride was first introduced to toothpastes and municipal water in the ‘50’s because of its ability to harden tooth enamel and fight decay-causing bacteria. But now, almost 80 years later, the war on cavities just got a little dirtier. Recent findings indicate that the bacteria that cause cavities can now fend off fluoride, brilliantly working to sabotage its tooth-positive effects. Scientists don’t know how bacteria does this, but when they do, it will offer the means to create an oral health regimen that is more bacteria-hostile. But wait! Don’t abandon fluoride! Using fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day, and flossing once a day, continues to be your best defense against plaque buildup and cavities. Regular professional hygiene (cleaning) appointments are also critical to maintaining your healthy smile.

Although the enamel is the strongest, hardest, and most mineralized tissue in the body, it can sometimes be damaged as a result of acute trauma.
